bad pain day

 hopefully this is just stress*

My teeth and jaw are hurting again. I suspect it's NOT bad teeth as it's at least five teeth, on both top and bottom, on one side. They are mostly sensitive to cold liquids. I can chew on them - I ate a bunch of "Goldfish crisps" which are like a hybrid of a pringle and a goldfish cracker and the cheddar ones are really pretty good without pain. 

And I can feel pain up in my jaw joint, so probably something like tmj. And I've been getting cramps in my neck, on the side where YEARS ago (like: 50 now, it was in a childhood swim class) I injured a muscle badly because it was a cold day and got a massive cramp in my neck and I just remember having to lie on the sofa for the rest of the day with a hot water bottle on my neck. 

My knee is also bothering me tonight and it was worse again today. I've got heat on it but I don't like how it feels. I didn't do anything unusual. We did have a surprise cold front come through; it was about 10-15 degrees colder than the predictions, so I was cold all day long after dressing for what I THOUGHT was going to be the weather.

(*you don't need to ask about what, I think, but also the fact that I'm teaching in three different buildings and having to schlep between them, and I have to make sure I have everything I need for every class, sometimes before I leave my building the afternoon before. And we had an intro lab fail because it turns out one of last semester's classes contaminated an indicator we needed and there's no way to make more of it, especially not on the short notice we had, and the custodians who were filling in for their ill colleague found out that he never retrieved many of the necessary supplies that are now in the closed-off part of the building and their supervisor told them under no circumstances were they allowed to go get them and I tried to track down another office that might be able to talk with the construction folks and arrange for a handoff, but I failed in that too, so it was just a Day of Fail and that makes it all worse)

But anyway. Everything is just frustrating and kind of sad, I've only knit a little bit on the Moon Moth sweater tonight, and it just feels like everything is harder and less-rewarding than it should be.

I wish they could have done the construction last summer, that would have been so much easier on us. But like a lot of things now, no one cares about others' discomfort.
